In Contrast Text 2 is a film review, the writer tone is critical and he uses second person pronouns to address the audience: “You don’t doubt that you are there, and what you are seeing is for real”. The use of rhetorical language, through highly persuasive synthetic personalization convince readers, by approaching their emotions.

Nazish S. Quraishi Professor Ahmadi ENGL 101-13 10 January 2016 Courage Triumphs over Racism The film “The Help” (November 24, 2011) of genre historical fiction directed and scripted by Tate Taylor is a faithful adaptation of the bestseller novel The Help penned by Kathryn Stockett. It is a story about how three women team up to form an alliance and secretively work on a writing project that would be shunned otherwise. The film portrayed the time when segregation existed between the whites and the blacks to be specific in the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. The film began with a flash-forward scene where Aibileen a black domestic maid is being interviewed, how it feels to work for a white family?

Thesis: In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, the audience is confronted with a tragic journey of both the Creature and of the King of Rock himself, Elvis, in which both characters become progressively isolated and disillusioned. Audiences observe the similarities

In The Help, Aibileen and Minny each respond differently towards their white employers, but while Minny’s approach possesses both benefits and drawbacks, Aibileen’s attitude only ensures her own safety. Minny’s rash and fiery nature provides the black community with major blackmail material though it leads to her losing her job; while Aibileen’s restrained and tolerant personality assists her in steering clear of trouble but does not improve the state of racial injustice. For instance, Minny prepares a pie coated with her own poop, and she delivers it to her arrogant employer, Hilly Holbrook. As a downside, Minny receives a hard beating from her husband and loses her secured job due to her quick actions in anger. Viewers soon learn that Minny’s impulsive behavior did not go to waste though, because she holds an embarrassing and valuable secret concerning Hilly and the pie incident.

Within these montages are close-ups of anxious facial expressions, as well as flashbacks from Gatsby’s life which are reflective of the tempo of the music. Music can play a critical role in the success of a movie trailer. In the article, “The Role Of Music In Motion Picture Advertising And Theatrical Trailers: Altering Music To Modify Emotional Response And Genre Expectation,” Strobin’s connection between music and emotion in trailers can be applied to that of The Great Gatsby trailer. As discussed in the article, “[m]usical elements (e.g., tempo, rhythm, pitch) can give rise to various emotions without cognitive processing[,]” suggesting music to be a less obvious tool for creating an experience for the audience (3).

The opening scene of The Help, you see Aibileen, a black female that works for Mrs Leefolt. Aibileen opens the film with heartfelt stories of her personal experience in the maid industry. She says a saying through out the film to one of her white babies which is “you is kind, you is smart, you is important.” This quote I believe is an important one because Aibileen is teaching the baby to believe in herself and know that she is smart, kind and important. Aibileen also covers in the start of the film why she was a maid and how she came to become and made and that was “because her mama was one and her grandmamma was a house slave.”

“The Help”, directed by Tate Taylor, is a film set in the early 1960s in Jackson, Mississippi. The film is based on the novel by Kathryn Stockett, which is about racism and the inequality of black people. After being fired from her previous job, Minny meets Celia, who offers her a job cleaning her house. This scene emphasises themes such as racism and relationships. These themes are reinforced by four film language techniques: costume, composition, a high angle shot and non-diegetic music.

Sexism in The Help Sexism was a normal part of life in the 1960’s. The Help, which takes place during that time period, presents evidence of this throughout the novel. Written by Kathryn Stockett, it features primarily female characters, which helps to illustrate this point. Many of the characters experience sexism in some way, but Skeeter and Celia were two of the most affected by it. Sexist stereotypes affect both of them, but Skeeter deals with sexism from greater external forces, while Celia places most of them on herself.

“Write about what disturbs you, particularly if it bothers no one else”(pg. 71). In 2011, a movie adaption was released of the book, “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, a book told from the perspective of three women in the 1960’s as they write a book about the lives of maids in Jackson, Mississippi. The two media forms of the same story have many similarities, along with differences. Four significant elements, listed from least to most important, are assessed for how they affect the same story told in two different ways. The least important thing to be kept or changed is that in both forms of “The Help”, Miss Charlotte, Skeeter’s mother, refuses to die.

(The Help, 2011) Inspired by this, Aibileen amends her fear and becomes the first of the maids to disclose her story to Skeeter. She realizes the danger that could result from her decision, but she embraces the risk and relies on her faith for guidance. Aibileen wrestled with just how much courage she would need to do what Skeeter had asked her to do, despite the "bitter seed" planted inside of her. The convergence of Skeeter and Aibileen is a result of the courage demonstrated by Aibileen. Subsequently, Aibileen muses to herself, “God says we need to love our enemies, it hard to do, but it can start by telling the truth."

The Help is set in Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960s. Skeeter, a southern society girl, interviews the black women who have spent their lives being servants for wealthy white Southern families. There are various scenes throughout the film that show social stratification, racial inequalities, gender inequalities, and class inequalities. Massey’s Social Stratification Theory states that humans allocate people to different categories. These categories often lead to inequality which is implemented socially.

The book The Help was originally written by Kathryn Stockett and published in 2009. The book was transformed into a movie which was also called the The Help. The movie was released in August 10, 2011, by DreamWorks Studio. The screenplay was written by Tate Taylor, who also directed the film. A young white female writer, Eugenia Phelan, who was nicknamed, Skeeter, portrayed by Emma Stone, returned from the University of Mississippi in the 1960s after she graduated.

The movie I chose to write my psychology review was on Girl Interrupted. The movie was based on the writer Susanna Kaysen’s and her eighteen month stay at a mental hospital, but the movie was directed by James Mangold. My reasoning’s for choosing this movie was due to the fact that it carried many psychological concepts to it. The movies main script revolved around Susana’s and with the crazy women in a mental institution. This movie had two main characters and they were Susanna (Winona Ryder) and Lisa (Angelina Jolie).

1)Thane Rosenbaum expressed the contrast and basis of the essay by portraying the two dissimilar points with the arguments that habitually accompanied them. He introduced the conflicting ideas of those who were inclined to liking a film better than its corresponding book, and those who liked a book better than its corresponding film. Through the author's introduction, the reader gets a general idea of what the contrasting points are, and an example of an argument that supports each point. The reader is able to immediately relate with one of the arguments and form an opinion as a result of the arguments being exceedingly general.
